23-ISAIAH
23-1:1 The
vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw
concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
23-1:11 To
what purpose is the multitude of your
sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of
lambs, or of he goats.
23-2:3 And
many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall
go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
23-2:4 And
he shall judge among the nations, and shall
rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
23-2:12 For
the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon
every one that is proud and lofty,
and upon every one that is lifted up;
and he shall be brought low:
23-2:18 And
the idols he shall utterly abolish.
23-2:19 And
they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for
fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
23-2:21 To
go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for
fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
23-2:22 Cease
ye from man, whose breath is in his
nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
23-3:7 In
that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be
an healer; for in my house is neither
bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
23-4:3 And
it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem,
shall be called holy, even every one
that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
23-5:2 And
he fenced it, and gathered out the stones
thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst
of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he
looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
23-5:7 For
the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the
house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for
righteousness, but behold a cry.
23-5:14 Therefore
hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their
glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he
that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
23-5:25 Therefore
is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and
hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
23-5:26 And
he will lift up an ensign to the nations from
far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall
come with speed swiftly:
23-6:2 Above
it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
23-6:6 Then
flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he
had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
23-6:7 And
he laid it
upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity
is taken away, and thy sin purged.
23-6:9 And
he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye
indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
23-6:11 Then
said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until
the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the
land be utterly desolate,
23-7:13 And
he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary
men, but will ye weary my God also?
23-7:15 Butter
and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
23-7:22 And
it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter:
for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23-8:7 Now
therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river,
strong and many, even the king of
Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up
over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
23-8:8 And
he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to
the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy
land, O Immanuel.
23-8:14 And
he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of
stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and
for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
23-9:1 Nevertheless
the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he
lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward
did more grievously afflict her by the
way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
23-9:15 The
ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the
tail.
23-9:20 And
he shall snatch on the right hand, and be
hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and
they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
23-10:7 Howbeit
he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think
so; but it is in his heart to destroy
and cut off nations not a few.
23-10:8 For
he saith, Are
not my princes altogether kings?
23-10:13 For
he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done
it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent:
and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures,
and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
23-10:16 Therefore
shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under
his glory he shall kindle a burning like the
burning of a fire.
23-10:24 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not
afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with
a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
23-10:26 And
the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of
Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his
rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
23-10:28 He is come to Aiath, he
is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up
his carriages:
23-10:32 As
yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
23-10:34 And
he shall cut down the thickets of the forest
with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
23-11:3 And
shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
23-11:4 But
with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and
reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he
shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his
lips shall he slay the wicked.
23-11:12 And
he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and
shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of
Judah from the four corners of the earth.
23-11:15 And
the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his
mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the
river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
23-11:16 And
there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left,
from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he
came up out of the land of Egypt.
23-12:2 Behold,
God is my salvation; I will trust,
and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is
my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
23-12:5 Sing
unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things:
this is known in all the earth.
23-13:9 Behold,
the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the
land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners
thereof out of it.
23-14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual
stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is
persecuted, and none hindereth.
23-14:30 And
the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety:
and I will kill thy root with famine, and he
shall slay thy remnant.
23-15:2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high
places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads
shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
23-16:5 And
in mercy shall the throne be established: and he
shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking
judgment, and hasting righteousness.
23-16:6 We
have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
23-16:12 And
it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place,
that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but
he shall not prevail.
23-17:5 And
it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with
his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth
ears in the valley of Rephaim.
23-17:8 And
he shall not look to the altars, the work of his
hands, neither shall respect that which
his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
23-17:14 And
behold at eveningtide trouble; and before
the morning he is not. This is the
portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
23-18:3 All
ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
23-18:5 For
afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in
the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs
with pruning hooks, and take away and cut
down the branches.
23-19:16 In
that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear
because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
23-19:17 And
the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof
shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
23-19:20 And
it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of
Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
23-19:22 And
the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and
heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23-20:2 At
the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose
the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
23-21:4 My
heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
23-21:6 For
thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
23-21:7 And
he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he
hearkened diligently with much heed:
23-21:8 And
he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually
upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
23-21:9 And,
behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with
a couple of horsemen. And he answered and
said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
23-21:11 The
burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir,
Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
23-22:8 And
he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou
didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
23-22:16 What
hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a
sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for
himself in a rock?
23-22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there
shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.
23-22:19 And
I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
23-22:21 And
I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will
commit thy government into his hand: and he
shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
23-22:22 And
the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23-22:23 And
I will fasten him as a nail in a sure
place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to
his father’s house.
23-23:11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a
commandment against the merchant city, to
destroy the strong holds thereof.
23-23:12 And
he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou
oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also
shalt thou have no rest.
23-23:13 Behold
the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness:
they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he
brought it to ruin.
23-24:18 And
it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into
the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst
of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open,
and the foundations of the earth do shake.
23-25:7 And
he will destroy in this mountain the face of the
covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
23-25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD
will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath
spoken it.
23-25:9 And
it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is
our God; we have waited for him, and he will
save us: this is the LORD; we have
waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
23-25:11 And
he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of
them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the
spoils of their hands.
23-25:12 And
the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he
bring down, lay low, and bring to the
ground, even to the dust.
23-26:3 Thou
wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because
he trusteth in thee.
23-26:5 For
he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the
lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even
to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
23-26:10 Let
favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will
he not learn righteousness: in the land of
uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not
behold the majesty of the LORD.
23-27:1 In
that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish
leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
23-27:5 Or
let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
23-27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:
Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
23-27:7 Hath
he smitten him, as he
smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are
slain by him?
23-27:8 In
measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
23-27:9 By
this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin;
when he maketh all the stones of the altar as
chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand
up.
23-27:10 Yet
the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left
like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
23-27:11 When
the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding:
therefore he that made them will not have mercy
on them, and he that formed them will shew them
no favour.
23-28:4 And
the glorious beauty, which is on the
head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he
that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
23-28:9 Whom
shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
23-28:11 For
with stammering lips and another tongue will he
speak to this people.
23-28:12 To
whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye
may cause the weary to rest; and this is the
refreshing: yet they would not hear.
23-28:16 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a
tried stone, a precious corner stone, a
sure foundation: he that believeth shall not
make haste.
23-28:20 For
the bed is shorter than that a man can
stretch himself on it: and the
covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
23-28:21 For
the LORD shall rise up as in mount
Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to
pass his act, his strange act.
23-28:24 Doth
the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open
and break the clods of his ground?
23-28:25 When
he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the
cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in
their place?
23-28:28 Bread
corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor
bruise it with his horsemen.
23-29:8 It
shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth,
and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a
thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh;
but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint,
and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that
fight against mount Zion.
23-29:10 For
the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed
your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
23-29:11 And
the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed,
which men deliver to one that is
learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he
saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
23-29:12 And
the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray
thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
23-29:16 Surely
your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for
shall the work say of him that made it, He made
me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
23-29:23 But
when he seeth his children, the work of mine
hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy
One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
23-30:14 And
he shall break it as the breaking of the
potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he
shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd
to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
23-30:18 And
therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be
gracious unto you, and therefore will he be
exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for
the LORD is a God of judgment:
blessed are all they that wait for
him.
23-30:19 For
the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy
cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
23-30:23 Then
shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou
shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it
shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large
pastures.
23-30:32 And
in every place where the grounded
staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
23-30:33 For
Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for
the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is
fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone,
doth kindle it.
23-31:2 Yet
he also is
wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise
against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work
iniquity.
23-31:3 Now
the Egyptians are men, and not God;
and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his
hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall
fail together.
23-31:4 For
thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on
his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will
not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall
the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
23-31:5 As
birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it;
and passing over he will preserve it.
23-31:8 Then
shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not
of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall
flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
23-31:9 And
he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,
and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in
Jerusalem.
23-32:6 For
the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to
practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul
of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of
the thirsty to fail.
23-32:7 The
instruments also of the churl are evil:
he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor
with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
23-32:8 But
the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
23-33:4 And
your spoil shall be gathered like the
gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
23-33:5 The
LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
23-33:8 The
highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he
hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the
cities, he regardeth no man.
23-33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that
shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing
of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
23-33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread
shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
23-33:18 Thine
heart shall meditate terror. Where is the
scribe? where is the receiver? where is he
that counted the towers?
23-33:22 For
the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he
will save us.
23-34:2 For
the indignation of the LORD is upon
all nations, and his fury upon all
their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
23-34:11 But
the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven
shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon
it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
23-34:17 And
he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath
divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation
to generation shall they dwell therein.
23-35:4 Say
to them that are of a fearful heart,
Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
23-36:2 And
the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah
with a great army. And he stood by the conduit
of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.
23-36:7 But
if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and
whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye
shall worship before this altar?
23-36:12 But
Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these
words? hath he
not sent me to the men that sit
upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with
you?
23-36:14 Thus
saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he
shall not be able to deliver you.
23-37:1 And
it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it,
that he rent his clothes, and covered
himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
23-37:2 And
he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of
the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
23-37:7 Behold,
I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear
a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword
in his own land.
23-37:8 So
Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he
was departed from Lachish.
23-37:9 And
he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of
Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with
thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah,
saying,
23-37:33 Therefore
thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He
shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it
with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
23-37:34 By
the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith
the LORD.
23-37:38 And
it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the
house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with
the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son
reigned in his stead.
23-38:7 And
this shall be a sign unto thee from
the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he
hath spoken;
23-38:9 The
writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had
been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
23-38:12 Mine
age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off
like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with
pining sickness: from day even to
night wilt thou make an end of me.
23-38:13 I
reckoned till morning, that, as a
lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of
me.
23-38:15 What
shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and
himself hath done it: I shall go
softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
23-38:19 The
living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children
shall make known thy truth.
23-38:21 For
Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he
shall recover.
23-39:1 At
that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters
and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that
he had been sick, and was recovered.
23-39:4 Then
said he, What have they seen in thine house? And
Hezekiah answered, All that is in
mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not
shewed them.
23-39:8 Then
said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the
word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said
moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
23-40:6 The
voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?
All flesh is grass, and all the
goodliness thereof is as the flower
of the field:
23-40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
23-40:14 With
whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and
taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
23-40:15 Behold,
the nations are as a drop of a
bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
23-40:20 He that is so
impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a
tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a
graven image, that shall not be
moved.
23-40:22 It is he
that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out
the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23-40:23 That
bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the
judges of the earth as vanity.
23-40:24 Yea,
they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall
not take root in the earth: and he shall also
blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away
as stubble.
23-40:26 Lift
up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his
might, for that he
is strong in power; not one faileth.
23-40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
23-41:2 Who
raised up the righteous man from the
east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as
the dust to his sword, and as driven
stubble to his bow.
23-41:3 He pursued them, and
passed safely; even by the way that he
had not gone with his feet.
23-41:4 Who
hath wrought and done it, calling the
generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
23-41:7 So
the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and
he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
23-41:24 Behold,
ye are of nothing, and your work of
nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
23-41:25 I
have raised up one from the north,
and he shall come: from the rising of the sun
shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
23-41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforet
